Every 45 seconds, a child in Africa dies of malaria. What makes this statistic even more heartbreaking is the fact that malaria is so easy to prevent—all you need is a $10 insecticide-treated bed net.

This fact made such an impression on designer Alexandra Taylor that she’s launched a line of original printed scarves, offered here as an AHAlife exclusive, to draw attention to the issue. For each scarf sold, she’s donating $10—the price of one of those life-saving nets—to the United Nations Foundation’s Nothing But Nets Campaign.

The clever, colorful prints that Taylor’s created for this collection reference anatomical mosquito drawings (think abstract and impressionistic not clinical and squirm-inducing). She’s even managed to work in a nod to the netting: One of the scarves is backed with a weighty silk mesh.

We’re offering these lightweight, all-season scarves in three styles: an orange silk/wool challis blend, a purple silk/wool challis blend that’s backed with olive green silk netting, and a lightweight pale gray silk/cotton blend that’s seamed down the middle to make it easy to double over.

You get a cool scarf, a child in Africa gets the chance to grow up. How many shopping decisions are this easy?
